Six
men from Camden NJ, Frank Ballerino, Michael Carr, Michael Yachus,
Stephen V. Koscianski, Lewis Riondino, and Joseph H. Johnson died
together when the troop transport HMTS Rohna was struck by a German
guided glider bomb and sank of the coast of North Africa. In addition,
six other Camden County men, Jacob K. Jenkins and Carl Johanson of
Pennsauken, 19 year-old Harry V. Taylor Jr. of Haddonfield, William
McKeon of Blackwood, Merl Reagle of Lindenwold, and Elmer F. Day of
Merchantville and also were lost that day. In total, 1,015 men
were lost, but the story was never told to the families or the general
public for over 57 years due to wartime censorship.
